As some may be aware, Testor has cancelled all standing orders for the limited edition Ruby Ford miniatures sculpted by Tom Meier. No word has yet been given when orders will re-open.

For those who are curious as to the reason for this cancellation, GRRM has contacted us and informed us of the reasons behind the move. Testors is going to be folded into a larger sister-company, Rustoleum, which will mean significant changes in its management. It has been decided that it would be prudent to put all current projects—including the miniatures—on hold while the new management settled in. Both GRRM and Mike Butterworth (who is the lead man on the ASoIaF-related projects) are hopeful that the delay will be minimal.
